First-rate facilities and laboratories

WSU's newExperiential Engineering Building features 25 hands-on learning labs—from aerospace structures and vehicle design to
astronautics and biomechanics—and access to the tools and equipment to develop new
products and bring them to market.

An R&D powerhouse

WSU's reputation for research and development is second to none. The National Science
Foundation ranks Wichita State University No. 1 in the U.S. in industry-funded aerospace R&D
and No. 6 in the U.S. overall engineering R&D. WSU's renowned National Insitute for
Aviation Research, combined with on-campus partnerships with names like Airbus, Dassault
and Mechdyne, give you the opportunity to live and learn on the cutting edge of design.

This WSU / Boeing competition challenges students to build small electric powered
aircraft that meet competition objectives, working through all the stages of the design
process. Students come full circle from the idea through designs, prototypes, ground-testing,
demonstration, flight and delivery.

Jacob Griffith, a WSU biomedical engineering major who graduated in May, has been
awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship. The fellowship
will support his pursuit of graduate study that leads to a research-based master's
or doctoral degree in a STEM field. Griffith plans to seek a master's degree in biomedical
engineering at Wichita State.

A collaboration agreement between WSU and Spirit AeroSystems will bring new opportunities
for students through applied learning opportunities, joint strategic research projects, and improved workforce
training. Spirit joins Airbus, Dassault, and Firepoint Innovation Center
